The comprehensive planning process began in the Fall of 2012. The OASD Planning Committee, with support from the Chester County Intermediate Unit, worked throughout the 2012-2013 school year to produce a District Comprehensive Plan that meets the requirements of the Pennsylvania Department of Education and the needs of our community. We are now in the next phase of this process which is to revise the 2014-2017 Comprehensive Plan Goals. To review a draft copy of the OASD Comprehensive Plan Goals, Strategies and Action Steps, please select the appropriate below. The OASD Comprehensive Plan will be voted on for approval by the OASD Board of Directors during the Regular School Board Meeting on November 21, 2016. The OASD Comprehensive Plan is aligned to the Octorara Area School District Vision, Mission and Shared Values. If you have any questions regarding the Plan, please contact:

Octorara Area School District is a community of learners which nurtures in each person the skills necessary to shape the future with respect and integrity.
